I can only recommend anybody to get checked out for sleep apnoe. Maybe not if you're under 25, slim and super-healthy. But otherwise... You don't really notice

You don't really notice it but it can mess up a lot of your health and it's not obvious...
- Ovah 5y agoYou kinda do - it's one of the most common causes of sleepyness during the day. Obstruction of airways during sleep (apnea -> transient oxygen deprivation -> stress -> short interruptions of sleep and arousal). And it's common too: >40% has some kind of sleep apnea. 20% stress, 10% restless legs, and 10% because of obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS, obesity). I bet OSAS is a lot more common than that in the US.
- bayesian_horse 5y agoMy point is that it is hard to make the connection between snoring and sleepiness (and a few other things) and sleep apnoe. Unless you know there is one.
- darksaints 5y agoI suffered from sleep apnea even as a swimmer on a division 1 college team. If you snore or find yourself constantly sleepy, regardless of your fitness levels, you should get it checked out.
